The new Autobot Jazz toy in Hasbro’s just-released “Transformers: Power Of The Primes” toyline is the subject of sudden and unusual controversy today, as eagle-eyed Twitter users identified that four miniscule squiggles in the toy’s racing deco are actually “Cybertronian alphabet” characters–and they translate into something entirely unexpected and potentially troubling for a toy aimed at children worldwide.

It has been five years since they first battled but now their fight has been given a Masterpiece level upgrade. Exclusive to TakaraTomy Mall it’s MP-15/16E – Cassettebots vs Cassettrons. Stripes and Nightstalker fill out the Autobot ranks and they’re set to face off against Enemy and Wingthing. While three of the figures are mere repaints, Nightstalker is an all […]

Thanks to Dengeki Hobby we finally get to see Takara-Tomy’s upcoming slate in the plastic. Kickback is up first and his Legends release has a few differences from Hasbro’s Titans Return offering.

News dropping via preorder listings at BBTS we now know the names and rough release dates of Takara’s next Legends offerings. LG47 is a two pack of Kickback and Crowbar. Kickback is obviously the G1 Insecticon but Crowbar is more of a mystery. Is it a brand new Titan Master or simply one of Hasbro’s that Takara hasn’t used so? […]

In addition to Toyfair, Wonderfest was going on today in Chiba. The biggest bombshell “reveal” was the third in the series of ongoing Beast Wars Masterpiece figures and it’s none other than the slag spoutin’ saurian himself DINOBOT!! All we got was a silhouette which looks like it’s probably from the show and not preliminary work on the actual toy […]

These are probably going to be revealed in full during Toy Fair 2017 (Saturday through Tuesday February 18-21, 2017). We have some nice clear shots of Bumblebee and Optimus via the Hasbro Portugal website. Another picture […]

Were you wondering if/when/how TakaraTomy was planning on releasing some of the Hasbro only Titan Master heads? If you made a bet that Headmaster Brawn would be coming out with his upcoming Legends (the scale) figure; looks like you owe someone some money. Yes, thanks to TAGhobby.com and their scanned FigureKing issue (No.227) we now know that he (as Gong!) […]

Actor Dick Gautier, best known (to us) as Rodimus Prime passed away yesterday at 85. His other Transformers voice work included his own gun (Firebolt) as well as Apeface and a Quintesson scientist. This was in addition to his already impressive voice acting credits. Everything from Go-Bots to Sogmaster to Serpentor to Spike (in Tom & Jerry) and even a […]
